Trunnion Mount – The latest Giant off-road models feature updated Maestro Suspension systems with a new Trunnion Mount shock and Advanced Forged Composite rocker arm. The Trunnion Mount allows for a longer shock shaft, which produces a lower leverage ratio and smoother ride performance. It also allows for shorter chainstays to improve quickness and agility on the trail. The Advanced Forged composite rocker arm weighs less than the previous aluminum version while being stiffer and stronger. Together, these innovations result in the following core benefits.

Rockshox Recon RL – The RockShox Recon sets a new benchmark for value-based performance.

With the addition of its now-standard Motion Control™ damper, the re-invented Recon is the new silver standard for fun.
